 <title>2007-2008 Sponsors</title>
 <link>http://activesteve.com/sponsors</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the page which will be used to acknowledge the genorosity of my sponsors. Thus far, I have no sponsors ;-( I&#039;m hoping that will change in the upcoming year. I will also be creating a media package, as well as allowing banner ads to run on my site for any interested parties, pending sponsorship level agreements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those who know me can attest to the fact that I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; my gear. I never purchase any equipment without thoroughly researching it. Being a multi-sport athlete is a very expensive endeavour. Each year I&#039;ve been steadily increasing both my training and racing commitments. In the upcoming year, my goals include branching out into international events as well as local events. Future race interests including &lt;a href=&quot;/node/138&quot;&gt;Southern Traverse&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/node/157&quot;&gt;the Speights Coast to Coast&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;/node/156&quot;&gt;Ironman New Zealand&lt;/a&gt;, as well as other international Adventure Races.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the past, I&#039;ve been more than happy to endorse all of the gear that I use openly. However, in the interest of trying to generate some interest in sponsorship, I&#039;m going to hold off on any endorsements for now, in hopes that I might actually find some help along the way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Partners&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;No partner-level sponsors yet&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Sponsors&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;No sponsor-level sponsors yet&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Supporters&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cyclelogik.com/&quot; title=&quot;Cycle Logik Logo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.cyclelogik.com/rw_common/images/CL-Header2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Cycle Logik Logo&quot; style=&quot;width:200px; float:left; &quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cyclelogik.com/&quot; title=&quot;Cycle Logik Site&quot;&gt;Cyclelogik&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only do I spin there, but they&#039;ve been the source of some pretty sweet deals over the years. I consider them an &#039;unofficial&#039; sponsor, since they always treat me well, without any formal arrangements. Mind you, these deals weren&#039;t just for me, but they&#039;re a store worth mentioning. Check them out for all your biking needs, be they triathlon-specific, road, or mountain.&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bushtukah.com/&quot; title=&quot;Bushtukah Logo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.synergyat.ca/images/contentpages/Bushtukah_WEB.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Bushtukah Site&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bushtukah.com/&quot; title=&quot;Bushtukah Site&quot;&gt;Bushtukah&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As someone who buys a lot of gear. I have choices. Bushtukah is a local retailer that treats people in the AR and Tri community very well. Special events, special rates. I didn&#039;t really go out of my way to ask for them, but I get them. So they&#039;re worth putting here.&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bicyclettesdehull.com/index_e.php&quot; title=&quot;BdeH Logo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.bicyclettesdehull.com/images/bdh_42.gif&quot; alt=&quot;BdeH Site&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bicyclettesdehull.com/index_e.php&quot; title=&quot;Bicyclettes de Hull Site&quot;&gt;Bicyclettes de Hull&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bicycles and cycling gear are pretty important in almost everything I do, from Adventure Racing, to Triathlons to training, and even for my vacations, like my 4-month cycle tour of New Zealand. BdeH has provided me good service and extended me some nice deals on equipment, as well as to my team-mates.&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Jody&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My other, much better looking, half. If it weren&#039;t for her ongoing support, enduring my training and racing absences, I wouldn&#039;t be able to do these things. Thanks. She has also become quite a capable race photographer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Kevin&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.haggaret.com&quot;&gt;Kevin&lt;/a&gt; is &#039;one of those guys&#039;. You know, always willing to help out, and do what they can to help. In this case, he is hosting this website on his server, and provides invaluable technical support when I need it (along with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smithdm3.com&quot;&gt;Dave&lt;/a&gt;). Thanks guys!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Darcy&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to give a special shout out to Darcy, an Elite trainer at Good Life fitness. He&#039;s been helping me by designing a strength program to help me while away the winter. Thanks Darcy! Fear not, I&#039;m not slacking off.&lt;/p&gt;
